The German observers state that not
withstanding the great increase in the
number of lightning conductors which
has taken place within the last forty
years. the ratio between the total num-
Der of buildings in the country and the
annual number damaged by lightning
has been multiplied five-fold since the
year 1884. This is undoubtedly a
somewhat alarming statement. especi-
ally if there is any reason for fear that
this rapid rate of increase is likely TO
be maintained The facts also demand
close examination from purely scien-
tific point of view. as they might as well
throw light upon the obscure genesis
OF the phenomena Of the thunder

that much, il not ALL the blame for
